GRANDDAUGHTER FOUND HER GRANDPARENTS’ WEDDING GIFT CHEAP

Jen and her husband were on their 70s, as they haf five grandchildren. Three of them were women and two of them were men. They were ready for their grandkids, whenever they needed them.

Their youngest one, Eloise got married recently, and as it was their tradition, after the wedding the grandparents would buy the cheapest item on the wedding registry, and would give them $40,000.

As they wanted their grandchildren to keep it as a secret, they were the only ones who were aware of the tradition. Until now everyone had kept their secrets.

But their granddaughter Eloise accused them with being cheap. “Seriously, Grandma? I just got your gift. An air fryer? That’s the cheapest thing you could find on my registry!” She said when Jen called her.

As Jen was thinking that it was useful, she told Eloise that. “Useful? Come on, you know you can do better than that. Everyone knows you have the money. I just can’t believe you’d be this cheap with me. It’s embarrassing.” Was Eloise’s response.

As Jen had enough, “Yes, you’re right. We are cheap, old, and useless. The only thing you DIDN’T know is that the day before the wedding, we were going to gift you a check for $40,000.” She said.

As the argument got heated, “No, it’s clear. You just don’t love me enough to show it. You know how much pressure I’m under with the wedding. And then, this? It’s like you don’t even care,” Eloise said and hung up.

Then they decided not to give the money to Eloise, and after a week later she called again after she learned that they truly gave $40,000 to every grandchild.
